Maybe you're right. I thought it is understood why pro-gplv3 people like the licence.

Just to elaborate then, I personally want my software to use gplv3 because I side with the ideological/ethical aspects of free software. I want to support projects/teams/orgs that build this future. An mit licence would allow a company to capitalise on the community's effort withought giving nothing back. Or even worse, make modifications and deliver closed source blobs to users. I personally do not like that. Thus, I wouldn't support/use this library.

To be clear, I am not running 100% gpl software atm, but I see it as a journey going there, slowly transitioning.
